Although our site is very popular, the current economic climate has reduced our revenues just when we need extra security to prevent attacks from hackers who don't like what we do. If you think what we do is worthwhile, please

ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are two detectives tracking
down a killer who uses the seven deadly sins as the themes for his murders.

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A couple of kisses, sexual innuendoes and a brief glimpse of
a male corpse's genitals.

VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A corpse is shown with blood splattered on a wall. A
corpse is shown with his hands and feet tied and his face in food; when his face is
exposed we see opaque eyes. A corpse is shown post-autopsy, with autopsy stitches and
blood; the pathologist holds up a bloody bag and we see photos of this a few times. There
is a lot of spilled blood at a crime scene. We see a corpse in photos, with a gaping wound
in his side and a sack of bloody flesh on a scale. A woman is killed with a strange
device: a phallic knife (we don't see the murder though). A supposed corpse coughs (the
man is skeletal with bloody track marks over his body). A man is shot in the head. A man
is almost shot. There is much talk of graphic violence.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
